Guest Post by Rabia Gale : Cover Reveal for Flare Book Two in the Sunless World Series
Thank you so much for having me on your blog today!
I’m delighted to reveal the cover for my upcoming release, Flare, Book Two of The Sunless World, an epic fantasy series with a steam punk flavor.
Rafe and Isabella are back
The mages of old saved their world, but left it in eternal darkness. Now it’s time to bring back the light.
After two years of training his magical gifts, Rafe returns home to a land wracked by war. Desperate states struggle to protect their resources of luminous quartz. Magic pulses and earthquakes devastate a world on the brink of extinction.
Rafe’s old enemy Karzov has gathered a band of prodigies obedient to his will. He seeks the power of the ancient mages for an audacious and sinister purpose. It’s up to Rafe and his ally, Isabella, to stop him—and undo the mistakes of the past to put their world right again.
Flare will be out in September 2016!
“Quartz: The Sunless World introduces a rich and credible backdrop to the adventures of her characters, with a deadly political mire underlying the bright colours of high society.” – By Rite of Word Reviews
“This story is fast, fascinating and highly recommended.” – Amazon.com review
The Sunless World series begins with Quartz (Book One) and Flux (A Sunless World Novel).
About the Author
I create weird worlds full of magic and machines, and write characters who are called on to be heroes. I’m fascinated by light and darkness, transformation, and things that fly. Giant squid and space dragons appear in my work—you have been warned!
A native of Pakistan, I now reside in Northern Virginia, where I read, write, doodle, avoid housework, and home school my children.

Life as a zombie!
Living your passion presents interesting opportunities. This weekend, we went to Seattle to promote my zombie book series at Crypticon, a 3-day horror convention. It’s a very unique event that fills the halls of the convention center with monsters and mayhem of all kinds. There are people in costumes from all sorts of horror movies. Freddy, Jason, vampires, zombies, teletubbies, everything your nightmares can imagine you’ll find it there. Despite the “horror” theme, the people are all friendly, they are doing what they love and having fun doing it and best of all, celebrating it with others who like the same things.
We’ve done a few of these conventions now and each time we meet and connect with a lot of people, sell some books and take in the experience. This time around, I decided to take things to the fullest and have a little fun with one of the jokes in my book, that I, the author, was infected and turned into a zombie(good luck waiting on the sequels). I enlisted the help of Tim Peirson of Cast of Thousands Studios in Tacoma, WA to come in and make me up. The results were an astounding transformation that was not only fun to watch unfold but even funner to be. Make-up assist and photo’s by Jennifer Jensen!
I was transformed from mild mannered author to flesh eating, brain chomping zombie writing guy. What a treat it was to become part of the eclectic show all around us. I got to scare people, make them laugh, freak them out and be part of the experience with them. I posed for pictures, pretending to eat or chase people, I got to growl and groan like a hungry zombie in their ears, while they smiled for their selfies.
What a fun day. I hope that you got to do something equally as fun and cool with your weekend.
